To the people defending this. Forget the reticle for a sec. How about the time when Activision put microtransactions in the MW remaster while also increasing the original prices for the multiplayer maps?. Shouldn't a remaster include everything from the original game? Or at least not include nickle and dime BS like that into a game that didn't have that?

I'm so glad Activision/Blizzard doesn't own a single franchise I give a shit about.

A remaster should include whatever the developer and publisher want it to include, end of story. You don't have to buy it if you don't like it. But they're not under any obligation to give you whatever it is you want for whatever price it is you want to pay.

Holy shit I can't believe there are people who could actually defend that fiasco. Congrats on being the exact type of costumer gaming companies want. Of course they make the games so they get to decide whatever they want to do with them, I'm not denying that, but monetizing every single thing in a game is simply distasteful. It breaks whatever immersion and fun you're having with the game when every single thing is either monetized or grind-heavy to entice you to buy stuff.  Adding microtransactions AND increasing the price for the DLC from the original prices is simply inexcusable. Pure unadulterated insulting greed.

This is not the way to market your products and your "Don't buy it if you don't like it" attitude, while completely understandable, isn't enough. You gotta make some noise and let the gaming companies know how shitty they are so they stop and become better. EA's Battlefront II loot box fiasco is the perfect example. Don't buy if you don't like, of course, but vocalize your distaste as well, that's my view on it.
